Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2007 Honda Ridgeline shows a distinct pattern when compared to surrounding model years: complaints dropped significantly from the 2006 launch-year spike of 240 complaints (with 4 investigations) to 160 in 2007, while recalls also fell from 14 to 10 and TSBs declined from 110 to 53. This trend continued into 2008 (140 complaints, 10 recalls), suggesting the 2006 model year experienced the most severe teething problems, with the 2007 representing an improvement. The top complaint areas for 2007 were Air Bags (69), Structure (19), Engine (7), and Visibility (7), with 6 crash-related complaints and 5 fire-related complaints recorded. Compared to the subsequent years through 2014, which maintained elevated but stable complaint levels (24-45 annually), the 2007 sits in a transitional zone—still elevated relative to pre-2006 baseline levels but clearly improving from the initial launch issues. This makes the 2007 a moderate-risk option: it benefits from the manufacturer's addressing of 2006 problems, but a buyer should still prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on airbag system integrity and structural components given those were the dominant complaint categories.
